The devil’s fingers burst from egg-like sacs, the tentacle-like structures slowly spreading like a malformed, grasping demon hand. The tentacles are covered in a brown mucus called gleba, which contains C. archeri’s spores. The fungus’s rotting-flesh stink then attracts flies, which get covered with the gleba so they can spread the spores elsewhere.

It’s now “plaguing the UK,” but where does this nightmare come from? Take a wild guess.
